Only just caught up with this thread, work has been brutal during the week :roll: ,did pop in last night but barely had time to get a bite to eat and take the dog out let alone post anything.

Love the YO Gazz , congrat's on getting your dream bike, absolute bargain too, FWIK those forks alone are worth over a ton.

Will definetely be at Inners, will have the Bomber done, well riding anyway, going to try and get a seal kit from Hope tomorrow for the LTS, have been looking for a lever on here and E-bay but these tend to be sold with the complete brake, not worth paying the money just to use the lever, either way i should have the LTS together though.

BUT

If Si is taking his Klunker to Inners then i'll take mine :twisted: , as long as i've had a chance to try it out first and it's not it's maiden voyage, thrown together the night before

Gazz and Kaiser done that last year, very challenging from what i heard.

yeah pretty brutal climb right from the start and it was pretty technical and muddy at the top and steep down, good that they have changed it as one lap is a good test, however not going to go this year, to many other things on the horizon.

Aye the The Ken and his lad did it too - If you can be bothered going back a few weeks, I think he posted his thoughts on it.

Some of the stuff he reckoned was Black, although there was also some mention of them making it slightly easier this year? A week after Kielder :shock:

that would be brilliant if you and si klunkered this, very brave men but max respect

you going to use the lx cranks mate, if not Ill swap them back for some cash, need some black cranks for the univega.

Kaiser was looking to go to drumlanrigg on sunday, i cant do it but you fancy?

Did have plans for the LX cranks but will have a think and let you know

Will be limited for time again this Sunday, may manage Pollock park in the morning but that'd be it

I thought Klunkin' around Inners was off. Well up for it and saves me having to try and ready that Boulder.

So we really Klunking then?

I will if you will , if it's a certainty i'll go all out to get the Bomber done, maybe even painted, collecting the wheels tomorrow, will order the bars from Demon Tweeks, just need a four finger front brake lever which i think Velo has.
